About Birsay Bay Beach

Birsay Bay Beach is situated in Orkney, Scotland. It is one of the best beaches of the island, especially for the rock pooling. If you want to visit, check the tide times and go just after it starts to turn. That is when the rock pools start to show masses of hermit crabs, shannies, father lashers, butterfish, brittle stars and starfish.
